Can someone email me and let me know if this is the movie version where the guy is in a cell at the end of the movie and telling this story. He has become half mushroom. Dun Dun Dun!!Brendajknbk1984@hotmail.com

I saw this when I was young. Except it was in black and white and MUCH darker (film quality-wise) . To this day, I refuse to eat mushrooms! I saw it again last year in full color and too brightly lit. In that light (pardon the pun), it matches the reviews. In it's original very dark b&w, on a cold dark night, it's one of the best B-movies ever played on our local Nightmare Theater (every city had their own version of our Nightmare Theater). Big difference between dark and menacing scary shadows and brightly lit rubber mushroom suits!

Hey, did any of you notice the poor quality of the dubbing in this film? Hey, it seems like every character says "Hey" 40 or 50 times. Hey, maybe it was my verision only? Hey!! it's hard to cowcentrate on the 'drug symbolism' when the dubbing is so poor and laughable and everyone says HEY so damn much!;=8)

I find Matango to be one the better sci-fi/horror films Toho produced in the 1960s. It's one of Ishiro Honda's best films and up there with the original Godzilla. I think the majority of people who dislike it are missing the point.
